What Dealers Think.
Z. S. NOrton-Business is looking
better, and inquiries for good property
of every kind are becoming more num-
erous, and in every respect there is clear
evidence of an improved condition in
the market. Very many improvements
upon very large scale are cOntem-
plated that are very greatly effectlng
the market. Such suburb as North
st. Paul cannot be built up without
very largely benefiting the whole city.
III. 5. Fairchild IL Son-There is a
very large and growing inquiry for
property in North St. Paul and acre
property around in the vicinity OF that
rapidly growing suburb. The inquiry
for inside business property is also be-
coming more active.
Wall & Parker-There has been a
good inquiry, largely from strangers in
st. Paul, and there is no doubt of
better feeling all through the city.
Bristol 81 Lo0mis-There is no doubt
that business is improving. This is
plainly observable every day. People
are making more inquiry now than they
have for some time.
{ Weatherby & Hay-During all the
week there has been much more free
inquiry for acre property, especially out
in the vicinity of North st. Paul. The
excursion of business men that was
made to North st. Paul short time ago,
seems to have surprised people good
deal. Those who went out there evil
IDENTIFY had no conception before they
went of what they saw. The. reality
was great surprise. They saw that
North st. Paul means business, thrift,
growth.
Davis & Brown-Every kind of realty
is held very firmly and no one seems
disposed to give way in the slightest de-
gree. Sales are not very numerous, but
enough are made to show that the mar
ket is in a remarkably healthy condi-
ton.
j. III. DavidSon-The week has been
| rather quiet but prices are very firm and
holders exceedingly stiff in their views.
Inquiries are numerous and anything
that is offered at a reasonable price or a
shade under the top prices is very
quickly picked up.
Brennan & Fahey-Sales are improy-
ing and inquiry is active. We have
| closed up several good sized deals within
| the last few days.
Curtice & Gray-There is an unceas-
| ing demand for houses and the prospect
| of furnishing them out of the question.
:OSburn, Burger & Kuhl-There is
great activity in North st. Paul property
and prices are advancing. The inquiry
for city business property is improving.
Gilbert q CO.-PriceS continue strong
with better inquiry than there was a
ypppK fVhara ic oof,,o1 ,lai,,
about the lack of houses to rent, with
no possible way of satisfying the de-
nfand.
j. Fairchild & Co.-The market is very
firm indeed, and seems to be growing
So far as inquiry is concerned it has
been very active indeed, and is becom-
ing more so, every day. That part of
| the city that is attracting marked atten-
ftinn-to-day;is what is generally known.
| as ''the Rice street district" Prices are
rapidly becoming mere and more firm
and in some cases have been Increased.
| The extension of the street railway sys-
tenn up Rice street to Front has had very
much to do with the present condition
of the market in that part of
the city. The fact also, that the
$500" road is coming down sirOugh the
Rice street district, is also having its
effect in causing values to advance.
North st. Paul property is also in good
request and is selling rapidly. The
same may be said of acre property out
| side of and near to North st. Paul.
F. S. Bryant-We are selling good
deal of property in st. Paul Park. We
are selling an average of about twenty
lots every day. Prices are firm, and
notwithstanding the fact that money is
a little close, there seems to be enough
left to enable people to buy realty.
Davidson, Bayard & CO.-There is no
change from last week. Inside. lots are
held frmer, and there seems to be
little more inquiry for it.. -
Mcguire BrOthers-We have found the
real estate market very brisk. the past
week. As the weather grows cooler the
tone of the market grows brighter and
has livlier ring toit. Propertyis being
held at very frmfigures along the sup
posed line of the Electric Elevated rail-
road. which runs through the Midway
district. Our sales this week have been
somewhat scattering. We sold lot on
I Case street for 1850, one on Ellen street
for $500, one in Danforth park for 1878,
one in BrightwOOd park for $3.50, and
one on Summit avenue for $3.50 We
have had a large inquiry and made
great many sales at North ST. Paul this
week. In Oakville park we have for
day, the most of which will be built Ons
at once. s.--S -
Merriam & Moore regard the market
in very good shape. 1t is not fast now
nor is it expected to be this season of the
year. They are of the opinion that it is
just about as it should be-safe. solid
and sure. --.--------
